What was the author’s purpose in using the phrase “bridge electronics with biology”?

The purpose is to make everyone understand the miracles that can be done when electronic is combined with biology as done by Chortos and colleagues when they created e-skin. Like wise similar concepts can be devised in other medical field.

Explanation:

The author (Wenlong Cheng, chemical engineering student at Monash University in Australia) had said this statement when Chortos and colleagues have successfully demonstrated the functioning of e-skin. This e-skin is enabled to sense pressure differences and hence send signals to the brain. This has revolutionized the communication system through the  use of artificial skin in practical world.

Hence, the purpose of saying the phrase “bridge electronics with biology” was to motivate all researchers to think beyond their limits and develop some thing as unique as e-skin through intervention of electronics.
